There are debates about whether or not this process is necessary if a person is going to use the cannabudder in a baked good, as the baking process is said to decarb the [[THC]]. More research needs to be done on this question. I would suggest decarbing anyway. | There are debates about whether or not this process is necessary if a person is going to use the cannabudder in a baked good, as the baking process is said to decarb the [[THC]].

Set your oven to a temperature of around 240° - 250° Fahrenheit. This should produce results without losing any medicinal potency. This is a good temperature for baked goods too, although it will cause the recipe to take longer. Grind up your plant material. | Set your oven to a temperature of around 240° - 250° Fahrenheit.

4) Discard the plant matter. Use your cannabudder immediately or refrigerate/freeze it until it is time to use. Left over plant matter can cause your budder to get moldy if stored in the fridge for too long.

5) After you have completed the third simmering session, prepare for straining while the mixture is still hot. Position your metal strainer over the second stockpot and carefully pour the water, butter, and marijuana mixture through the strainer or cheese cloth. This is easiest to do in the sink. The strainer will catch all the plant matter, so use the back of a large spoon to push the marijuana against the mesh and squeeze out all the butter. Compost or discard the plant matter. | 5) After you have completed the third simmering session, prepare for straining while the mixture is still hot.
